so i want to run a 40 DCOE weber carb but my 7 still pass emissions? understanding mazda, they had to put a bunch of useless crap to get it the rotary to pass emissions (ok maybe not so useless but i like my carbs to be simple) and knowing my dad, he wont let me strip my carb (or take the cats off) :/ lol

The Weber could probably pass emissions, but it might take a couple of tries.

curious...whys that? does it need to be broken in? or extra is stuff needed?

Well, it may need to be rejetted or otherwise adjusted to pass emissions, its hard to say, although a DCOE can be a serious PITA to get right and is not nec the best thing for a street car. A better choice honestly might be a Holley setup.

it would be very hard to get to pass and it will not pass the visual.

The nikki is a great carb ant the car will run great if it is tuned right. One of these days we need to meet up so I can help you figure out what you want out of your car before you start just pulling things. A lot of what you see on sites like RX-7 Club is crap.
